Patna Bihar SHG Meeting Report 31st July 2016

This Sunday’s
meeting is being held at Gandhi Maidan at 4pm. As per plan, we were going to
meet 1 hour before the actual meeting timing just to practice for our speech. Unfortunately,
it wasn’t gone as per the plan and we met at 4pm.

I met and
welcome our new member- Rahul who is a Banking job aspirant with his non-stammer
friend- Anil. He had a petite stammering problem or may I could say None
stammer because he was speaking so fluently and flawlessly. Later he said he
had a very mild stammering problem and joined this meeting just to enhance his self-confidence
and will-power.

Later Rishkikesh
and Suraj joined this meeting. At first weintroduced each other and debated on a few issues. Being a new member,
we explained about the TISA and its working module to Rahul. Rishikesh on the
other side had to focus a lot in his speech to manage his stammering to some
extent. We all boosted Rishikesh, so that he could learn something from every
meeting.

We also performed
a few activities like Breathing exercises, talking with techniques- Prolongation,
slow speech. Suraj explained the details of techniques to everyone

People with "mild" stammering suffer a lot internally. Therefore, it is important that we work hard to rise above those feelings of shame and fear.. Small or big, stammering is stammering- one has to deal with it with courage and grit. Right?

Absolutely Right Doc. Courage and confidence are the two most important base for stammers. But Mild and severe stammers should be treated as differently as both of their psychological issues are contrary to each other.

What is TISA

TISA is an association of Indian people who stammer (IPWS). Its purpose is to collect and disseminate relevant, correct and unbiased information for people who stammer and their families, friends and society in general. It is promoting a self help group movement, where PWS learn to help each other and themselves in the ancient Indian spirit: “This Self is to be achieved through self effort!”

In order to become its member, you just have to participate in its activities- SHG, workshops, get-together etc. This blog has migrated to http://stammerindia.org/ - our main website.

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/IndianPWS/ is the chat group where we, the IPWS meet and discuss issues and plans, while this blog continues to be available as an archive. Personally identifiable information has therefore been suppressed wherever necessary or requested. Our intention is to reflect the diversity of this land and represent the Indian slant on the issues, opinions and perspectives related to stammering. Stammering and stuttering have been used in the same sense.
